The waste of my sr. year

After looking through the topics in the book for my example paper, one topic

caught my eye right off the bat. After five years of high school I finally graduated. I

was not pleased with my overall efforts towards my work in high school. By noticing

this, I realized that my senior year in high school really was a waste. I realize now that I

never really took school seriously. I remember my mother always telling me how

inportant my education really was. I never listened to her when she told me this. Now

that I am older and in college I really wish i would have listened to her. I could have

really used a college scholarship instead of paying for school.

In high school I was to worried about having fun and partying, instead of doing

my work and getting serious with school. I look back at it now and wonder how I could

choose having fun over having an education. I quickly came up with an answer. It never

came to my attention during all...
